Greetings & Love everyone !
Well, mods my request is for you, but the poll is for anyone to take part of course !
Please, could you create a sub-forum dedicated exclusively to landraces ? I think it is a serious lack in this place here, all discussions about landraces are just lost in different sections instead of being all together, thus making them virtually non-existent and forgotten, unless someone revive the with a post, or do a personnal search on the website.
Landraces are a totally different world than commercial hybrids, simply because they show us and teach us about the world. THey don't grow in a tent or a closet or i don't know what else, they are cultivated in the open, by people whose culture and tradition it is to grow and process this plant for different uses.
Commercial hybrids are created every day & week, but every day & week landrace genetics are lost, it can be because of some invasive plant that eats everything like in Teraï, it can be because of long drought like it happens currently in Yunnan and too often it is through the repressive human hand, ALL AROUND THE WORLD. It's going much faster than we think, and the different climatic changes occuring around the world add a new threat on our cherished plant.
ANd too many people think that commercial hybrids are the thing, that they are superior, too oftenly forgetting that these highly potent commercialstrains come from landraces strains. More awareness is needed about the landraces strain, the plant needs (YES ! THE PLANT ! not me, not you, not us, not them, THE PLANT NEEDS IT !) that all information & data about landraces, be they wild or cultivated, be gathered into one single section, so that more people now about the treasures it holds.
Enough with great threads which lots of people like and give karma for, then get forgotten. Please, create a landrace section so they can be in one single place and knowledge & awareness to get spread !
Irie !
